Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
Although we graded this nursing home incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable short-term care rating this year. We gave it a C in that category. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we analyze a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. This area is more often than not a solid measure of a nursing home's rehabilitation. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the typical facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients that ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 5.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well below the national average.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home really excelled in the category of nursing, where it earned a grade of D. When calculating a nursing home's nursing grade, we consider the quantity of hours nurses are seeing patients and the level of skill of those nurses. With a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were significantly below the national average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This nursing home performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections
Unfortunately, this facility didn't receive glowing inspections in recent years. We gave it a grade of just D for our inspections rating. One of the most critical factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. We would scrutinize the level of severity of those deficiencies. This particular facility was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they posed a risk to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility also received 11 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed is long-term care, in which this nursing home received a rock bottom grade in this area as well. It received an F for this area, which is obviously somewhat alarming. If you are looking for services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care scores. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
